Reduce rejected product and wasted material. Nozzle drool. Impaired physical properties. Silver streaks and other cosmetic blemishes. If the moisture content in a resin is too high at processing time, you’re likely to end up with a costly, unusable mess. And as the materials science behind plastics continues to improve, resulting in stronger, lighter, and more durable resins, accurate moisture measurement and control will only become more critical. A moisture analyzer is an indispensable piece of equipment for injection molders, blow molders and extruders.

The preparation of plastic waste is an important process both for protection of raw materials as well as for reduction of waste. In this context, BELLMER KUFFERATH systems can be applied for all kinds of operations containing wet preparation processes.

The safe extraction of valuable raw materials: robots automatically dismantle monitors containing mercury, while protecting workers’ health at the same time.
According to initial projections, around three million LCD screens will be recycled in Germany in 2016. However, their backlighting system often contains mercury, which means they are classified as 'hazardous waste' in accordance with the EWC, and as 'Collection Group 3' in accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Appliance Law. They also contain valuable raw materials, such as metals and plastics, which have to be recovered in such a way, that the environment is not harmed. However, recycling specialists, Erdwich Zerkleinerungssysteme GmbH, have now developed an alternative: The company from Kaufering has developed an automatic processing system that enables mercury and other valuable raw materials to be easily extracted and recycled in an environmentally-friendly way.

Our hazardous waste shredders are perfectly suited for the chemically aggressive material in your hospital waste. After the shredding process, the material can be optimally utilised thermally or disposed of together with municipal solid waste once it has been sterilised. The shredding is so effective that the granulate does not give any indications of the source material. Hospital waste consists of very different types of waste and requires special treatment during disposal due to the presence of infectious and highly contaminated materials. Depending on the waste type or classification, the hospital itself might need to specially treat the waste or store it in dedicated plastic containers or drums on-site.

M&K plants divert Construction and Demolition waste from landfill by separating the waste into materials such as Hardcore, Soils, Wood(s), Metals, Stone, Cardboard, Paper and Plastic at the lowest possible cost per ton.
M&K Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Systems combine manual as well as automated sorting with the latest in feeding, screening & separation technology, allowing contractors to efficiently separate, sort and recover a wide variety of material types.
What is Construction and Demolition Waste?
C&D Waste is typically collected in open skip bins from construction or demolition sites.

SRF Manufacture is an alternative fuel produced by shredding and dehydrating solid waste, typically consisting of combustible components of solid waste, including paper, card, wood, textiles and plastic. It can be produced to a range of specifications to meet customer requirements.
Solid Recovered Fuel Manufacture
The materials used to produce Solid Recovered Fuel pass through a series of shredders, screens, air classifiers/density separators and magnets.
Inert materials, recyclable plastics and metals are extracted from the shredded material, leaving a mix of mainly non-recyclable paper, card, wood, textiles and plastic.
Although a small proportion of these materials can be recycled the quality of these materials is compromised once they enter the residual waste stream and recovering energy from these materials is currently the best environmental option.

RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) is made from domestic waste which includes biodegradable material as well as plastics, and has a lower calorific value than SRF (Solid Recovered Fuel).
RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) is used in combined heat and power facilities, many of them in Europe where they produce electricity and hot water for communal heating systems in the local area.
Compared to landfilling, the lower carbon emissions resulting from RDF manufacture outweigh the emissions associated with transporting the reclaimed fuel.
The increasing importance of Waste to Energy/RDF
Waste to energy conversion is an increasingly recognised approach to resolving two issues:
waste management and
sustainable energy.
Waste represents an increasingly important fuel source. Using waste as fuel can have important environmental benefits. It can not only provide a safe and cost-effective way of waste disposal but can also help reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Master Magnets equipment is used in many recycling applications such as the recycling of automobiles, electrical goods, skip waste, domestic waste, in fact wherever there is a need to separate metals from other materials. The process of recycling and reclamation invariably involves end-of-life products that may be shredded, crushed or fragmentised and require separation. Master Magnets supply the widest range of industrial magnetic equipment for the separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from materials such as aggregate, demolition waste, plastics, rubber and shredded wood.

During recent years, the importance of alternative energy sources has become increasingly apparent. With the Eldan Recycling System for MSW (Municipal Solid Waste), you can turn loose, baled or bagged waste like non-recyclable plastics, paper cardboard, mattresses, carpets, etc. into energy in the form of RDF (Residual Derived Fuel).
RDF exploits the energy content of the traditional household waste (MSW) to substitute traditional fuels, thus posing an alternative that is attractive both environmentally and economically. Before the waste can be used as fuel however, it must be sorted and volume reduced into a homogenous fraction size of e.g. up to 50mm / 2 in.
By downsizing the waste in the MSW Recycling System, liberated ferrous metals, heavy materials (stone, brick, iron) and wet material with low calorific value (smaller than 13MJ/kg) can be removed. The final product (approx. 75% of input material) is RDF with a high calorific value at approx. 26-28 MJ/kg, perfect as fuel ... ...

HSM has a wide range of balers for use in industrial and manufacturing settings. Many materials including, cardboard, paper, plastic packaging, PET Bottles/other rigid plastics and drinks cans can be successfully baled using one of HSM’s high specification balers. All of the models within HSM`s range of industrial balers are used for baling recovered recyclable materials into bales suitable for transporting to a recycling facility for processing. HSM balers for use in industrial or manufacturing settings are designed to allow maximum flexibility of working for the operator in that they can function on their own or as an integral part of a wider recovery system.

RDF raw material is a mixture of many different materials, so it has a strict request on machine long-term performance stability and blade anti-corrosion characteristics to shred both hard and soft materials such as plastic etc. Our shredding solutions enable you to optimally recycle waste into substitute fuels / alternative fuels and ensure high quality by producing a homogeneous granulate free of foreign objects. The goal of recycling is to use the valuable

Irrespective of the used collection system and the corresponding task, we design systems that grant 100% efficiency. Various countries have different waste collection systems, resulting in different tasks for the sorting technology. For example, packaging waste mainly consists of plastics, paper and glass. Single-stream waste mainly consists of dry, mixed waste (paper, cardboard, films, plastics, metals, aluminium, and in many cases also glass). Heavy, mixed waste often also contains bulky materials etc. The integration of REDWAVE sorting machines into a waste treatment plant grants maximum purity of the sorted fractions.

Cardboard is by volume one of the most commonly recovered recyclables. HSM provides balers for use with cardboard in many different scenarios from small volumes, with the aim of creating a tidy, efficient work area is the main aim through to demanding, high volume situations where a baler which can deal easily with throughputs of many bales per hour is required. Our new generation of modern balers have been created to use low levels of energy, generate a minimum level of noise and operate without the need for constant supervision. HSM has a wide range of balers for use in industrial and manufacturing settings. Many materials including, cardboard, paper, plastic packaging, PET Bottles/other rigid plastics and drinks cans can be successfully baled using one of HSM’s high specification balers.

Ragger wires, also known as “pulper tails” and “pulper ropes”, are reject secondary raw materials that are created when waste paper is recycled. Ragger wires consists of the plastic trimmings, staples, tape, labels and baling wire found in baled post-consumer paper waste. It is made up of approximately 45% steel and 55% post consumer waste and must be removed from the pulper.

Harden has a wide range of balers for use in industrial and manufacturing settings. Many materials including, cardboard, paper, plastic packaging, PET Bottles/other rigid plastics and drinks cans can be successfully baled using one of Haren’s high specification balers.
Harden offer customized solutions for shredding paper and cardboard. Our experienced technicians optimally configure the shredding system to meet your needs and thus ensure a perfect shredding result. Paper, cardboard and pasteboard are valuable raw materials that play an important role in recycling and in the waste processing industry. The easy recyclability of cellulose permits the economically efficient and environmentally friendly reuse of paper. Before shredding, the material is sorted based on its prior use, foreign objects are removed and only then is the material shredded.

Recognized as an industry leader in shredder recycling, we operate 50 recycling facilities for metal, green waste, plastic, food waste, rubber, tires, RDF waste. Harden’s facilities are designed with safety and efficiency in mind for both employees and customers. Our equipment is maintained and updated regularly and our scales are calibrated quarterly.
The properties of metals provide unique benefits and advantages for their recycling. Unlike other recycled materials, such as paper and plastic, metals can be repeatedly recycled without degradation of their properties. Metals from secondary sources are just as good as metals from the primary sources.
The scrap metal recycling lines are extremely heavy duty systems designed for processing scrap steel, electronic waste, aluminum castings and profiles, ect. We offer both medium and high capacity plants which benefit from low maintenance & operational costs, and lower capital investment when compared with the traditional systems.
